ILLUMINATING the JOY of G*D'S HOLIEST #7
Workshop with

Joy Krauthammer
.
http://holiestnumber7.blogspot.com/


And G*d blessed the 7th day and sanctified it...” Genesis Parsha Bereisheet 2:3
And on the 7th day, G*d ceased work and rested.”  Exodus Parsha Ki Tisa 31:17
The Holy One made 7s beloved under the heavens.”  Sefer Yetzirah 4:15

"For a 7 day period shall you eat matzo..." Exodus Parsha Bo 13:6

Sevens are found throughout Torah and Jewish Tradition: Sabbath, Sephirot, Omer, Pesach, Body Gates, Mikveh, Sheva Brachot, Shiva, Rainbows. Seven denotes G*d's power of perfection in creation and completion.

Wisdom of the 7s expands perceptions in Kabbalistic 4 Worlds of Spirit, Mind, Heart & Body.
With joy, we discover and explore Sevens.

In workshop, we also explore 70's and even 8's.

What 7's recur in your life between seemingly unrelated issues?
How can 7's rituals sanctify and hallow creation, change, closure, completeness, transition and transformation in your life?
What meaning does The Holy One's interconnectedness of the significant 7's have for you on your journey?

During the 7 days of each of the 7 weeks of the Counting of the Sephirat HaOmer between Pesach and Shavuot, experience the magnificent 7's awakening in you the joy of renewing your spiritual soul towards hope, healing, wholeness, holiness and HaShem.


In the month of Kislev, dark time of year, we look back at the miracles of the seven branched Temple menorah. Experience yourself as one of 7 candles. The Chanukah lights we light (all the way from the ohr ha-ganuz / primordial light, are the physical manifestations of our own spiritual inner light, our soul's radiance; and reflect the Temple's holy lights.



Sevens on 7.7. at 7 hours, 7 minutes and 7 seconds

Reb Yosef on Holy Sevens

Excerpt from Yosef Ben Shlomo Hakohen,   formerly in NY, Jeff Oboler

From: Yosef <
To: 
Date: Wed, 07 Nov 2007
Subject: Reply

Dear Joy,

The Temple is not yet restored, so we cannot bring the seventy offerings to the Temple during Succos; however, we can pray for the seventy nations. In addition, when we study the Torah which has seventy faces, we strengthen and elevate the diversity within the universe which includes the seventy nations.

Kol Tuv,
Yosef

Serve G*d With Joy
